A-Taul from L-Gaim from Start to Finish
It'll take you a little over a half an hour to get through these, but I found out how to embed them in high quality, and they're all edited and stuff, so I imagine it could be time well spent if you like this sort of thing.

Brocken Labor WIP to completion
I hadn't been doing much modeling for a while, and that had to change.
I dug out an old Patlabor kit that I picked up cheap at a Convention years ago. I didn't want to instantly burn myself out slaving away at an L-Gaim or FSS kit, so I went for something simple.
I didn't do any modifications other than weighting the feet with birdshot - no flying poses will ever be done with this guy.
Mostly I didn't even bother to chop registration pins as I was putting this together. I glued the facing edges of parts that would form seamlines as I snapped the kit together and that worked pretty well for later smoothing those lines.
I really had fun with airbrushing this kit. I made my first significant attempt at shading, and layered multiple shades to get what I think is a very nice depth to the finish.
Here are 4 videos of the process:
Here are a couple of finished images
